1T seems strauge that congressional

1t seems strsuge that congressional
district which gave VIM. T. Price, re.
publican, "a majority of II 900, should give
Nels P. Haugen, likewise republican
and candidate for the same Office less
than three months later, no majority.
Why is it? 1t cannot be the unftness
of Mr.. Haugen, because for two terms
he was elected to the position of railroad
commissioner, an Office not much sought
after, but requiring ability. This posi-
ton was thrown to the Norwegians in a
sulky spirit of concession. And now Nels
P. Haugen is defeated because his name
is ''Nels." 1t was argued that he had
secured his nomination because of his
nationality. This is very improbable;
though it is quite certain he was defeated
because of his nationality. Suppose he
was urged by his countrymen. Is not
the same thing done by every other ma
tionality? Was not the departure from
custom" in nominating Secretary of
State Timme acknowledged to be con-
cession to German demands? and were
not the demands of the Norwegians that
they have representative on the state
ticket for treasurer, characterized as
Norwegian arrogance? Were not the
number of Germans in the Second dis
trict used as an argument, and deemed a
legitimate one, in favor of the election of
Guenther? And is it an objectionable
offiense in the Eighth district to proceed
on the fact that one half the republican
vote there comes from the Norwegians.
| Fred Horn was mentioned as suitable
candidate for congress from this district
because of the preponderance of the
Germans. But Nels P. Haugen must be
! buried in district which three months
before gave a mjority of $4,000 to a re-
publican not a Norwegian, because
though he is republican he is a Nor
wegian, and one-h half the republican votes
cast in his district are by his country
men.
The Norwegians are not Office seekers.
One-sixth of the republican vote of Man
itowoc county is Norwegian, and not a
person of that nationality has held Office
in the county. A Norwegian named
| Samuelson was sent to the state legisla-
| ture and this is the only taste the nation
atty ever had. When sacrifice" ticket
was to be put up 80 that special fight
may be made for one candidate, a Nor
wegian was usually placed on the tickets,
placed there for the purpose of being
slaughtered.
1t is with the Norwegian vote as it is
with the Irish vote,-both are counted
upon with too much certainty. Fortu
nately the Irish vote is dividing up and
there are indications that the same thing
is true of the Norwegian vote.
1t would be good thing if all distinct
ions of nationality could be wiped out in
elections, but it is not fair to condemn
and punish in one what is approved and
rewarded in the other. '''Nels" should
not be a bar to Office any more thar
should "Hans' or "Pat." or Jonathan. >

The old maid who had reached mid
die life without an offer of marriage,
found great pleasure in descanting upon
the Inconsistency of man. But there is
no Inconsistency in marital matters equal
to what prevails in the political fisld.-
Merrill of The Prairie du Chen Courier
appeared to be an irreconcilable- because
of the failure to ''turn the rascals out"
en- n1asse, without warming, conjunction
or argument. He was truculent and APP
peared to be sincere and wholly unselfsh.
1t seemed to be principle with him and
one wholly disassociated from personal
advantage to himself. Even those who
deprecated the views advanced by The
Courier, respected the paper for its ear
nestness and seeming disinterestedness.
1t became a democratic stalwart utter
ance, SO to speak, and seemed to fight
for the old democrats who stood in the
front when blows and not favors were
showered upon them. But oh, the heavy
thought all along its utterances were cal
culated not to reach beyond the postoffice
in it's native town. The sturdy old demo-
Gratis who should be recognized were
personified in the person of the editor.
The rascals were to be turned out so that
there might be vacancy in the Prairie
du Chen postoffice which would fall to
the editors share. Where shall We look
for unselfish advocacy of democratic
principles when the stalwart Courier had
al along been speaking for itselfs
Why did you do it, oh, Merrill of the
the scathing penn You have not sought
an Office by ''crooking the pregnant him
ges of the knee why did you do it so as
to cast suspicion upon the sincerity of
your criticism upon the administration
If Merrill's pilgrimage to Washington be
successful, will The Courier ever after be
an unwavering administration organ 3
The perquisites of an Office are dainty
morceaus but not half so sweet as indie
pendence.

On, but Senator Sawyer has nice
thing of it. He owns the republican
party of Wisconsin and the party owns
the state and Sawyer is a railroad man
first last and all the time. And then
hear the serfs talk about the "grand old
party" and plume themselves on what
they have done and can do. About all
they can do is to indulge in a little bun
combe and then do just as Sawyer
directs. This country is owned by
corporations. Every movement against
the corporations falls into the hands
of designing demagogues and all the
people can do is to swear, grin and
bear it.

THE Milwaukee Journal has been
studying up Bartholf and has mastered
his patronymic down to the last conso :
nant. 1t evidently believes that letter
superfuous and when speaking of Mr..
Bartholf refuses to give him the benefit
of all the consonants to which he is justly
entitled. But its injustice does not end
in curtailing him, 1t claims he was not
in the canvass long enough to enable
people to learn his given name, and gives
him no more specific classification than
is included in the generic term ''Barthol "
In the interests of completeness The
Pilot insists that The Journal attach the
aspirate to Mr.. Barthol. 1t is his due.

foolish maiden, and among them was
Miss VanZaudt.
Spies must be heartless and selfish
brute to be willing to take advantage of q
foolish girls temporary craze and allow
her to commit an act which ostracises
her. A man would not be guilty of the
act, but Spies is not man. He feels
fattered and is willing to sacrifice the
girl to crafty his vanity and his beastly
passion. If anything were needed to
prove that the world is better off without
such dirty brood as that of which Spies
is a sample, ii is his willingness to allow,
even to encourage, a young fool of 20 to
commit such suicidal act.

WISCONSIN should pattern after Iowa
in the matter of free trade. That state
has formed free trade club made up of
democrats and republicans. 1t is not
the purpose to organize new political
party, but to force the two old parties to
adopt free trade principles, and also to
disseminate the doctrine. All the west
err states are naturally free trade and if
the question was clearly understood by
the farmers, there is no political party
which would dare to advocate protective
measures. We should have club Of
that kind in this state.

AN Oshkosh man is in sad plight ard
knowing Gov. Rusk's reputation for put
ting down riots, has appealed to him for
assistance. He wants S25, and wants it
bad. A girl threatens to blow cut his
brains unless he marries her, and he
pathetically explains he cannot marry if
he has no money. 1t is tough alterna-
tive between marriage and losing ones
brains. Of course many people give evil
denoe of having no brains by marrying,
but that is not the case with the Oshkosh
man. He is anxious to save the little he
has, and to do so asks S25 of the Gov
ernor. Give it to him, Jere.

ARCHBISHOP CoRRIGAN now states that
the order of suspension issued against
Father McGlynn was not on his own re-
sponslbility, but came from Rome. A
mass meeting was held in the basement
of the church at which 5000 men were
present. The clergyman appointed to
succeed DIR. McGlynn tried to prevent
the meeting but he was driven out. He
sent for the police, but they we're driven
out. GAIL the religion you want but nc
politics from Rome" was sentiment
wildly cheered. The church is practic-
ally boycotted. All the servants of the
church have resigned and the new pastor
has no one to prepare his meals. The
Pope has done much by his action in this
matter to weaken his authority.

SPIES must be a cowardly and heart.
less ruffian. One finds it difficult to
realize such depth of selfish villainy as
to drag girl into prison, marry her tc
a convict and all by playing on her fancy.
If Spies was capable of love he would
never accept the sacrifice which he claims
as his due. The foolish girl is to be
pitied more because of the heartlessness
of the brute to whom she is to be legally
bound, than because he is convicted
criminal

ARENsDoRF. the Sioux CITY brewer

ARENsDoRF, the Sioux City brewer
charged with killing Haddoch, will
charge that Leavitt did the killing
Leavitt is the principal witness against
Arensdorf and is thorough scoundrel.
His testimony is supported by cloud of
witnesses though and this makes it bad
for the brewer, though the latter claims
to have witnesses who will testify to
having seen Levitt do the shooting
From the character of the two men it is
much more reasonable to believe Levitt
guilty of the crime, though the proof
seems to be the other way.

The sheriff has refused to permit the
marriage of Spies and his crank lady
love. Spies idea of marriage may be gath
cred from his statement that when the
time comes he and Miss Van Zandt "will
waive all ceremonies and live as man and
wife" He manifests no sense of shame
IN acknowledging he is willing to make
the woman his mistress. Captain Black
is now seeking for his share of notoriety
out of the dirty affair.

number of farmers than of any other pro

and then give cheap talk about what
farmers can do.
